Funny Hand phone Advertisement

 

Came across this paper advertisement pasted on the wall while walking along Chinatown. Find it quite funny. Wrong word used in the paper advertisement. I think it should be “手机” and not “手鸡”(Direct translation: hand chicken), hahaha~!

Backlight Problem of Samsung SGH-I450

Alright I finally settled my handphone problem mentioned in the earlier post fixed.

The Backlight Problem is caused by the incompatability between the Singtel 3G SIM card and the I450 firmware. Heard that is due to some difference in the voltage specs...

Went down to the Samsung Mobile Phone Customer Service to ask for a fix to this Backlight Problem, but they told me that the another version of the I450 firmware is not yet ready and asked me to leave down my contact number so that they can contact me when its ready. And they say it will most likely take around 1 or 2 months. They also told me that the I450 firmware that my phone is having now, does not have this problem with an older version of Singtel 3G SIM card, but they are not very sure of what version or which batch of the Singtel SIM card it is.

So, I walk all the way to ComCentre which is located somewhere nearby to get the SIM card changed. Done, Backlight Problem solved! Hurray!!!

Samsung SGH-I450

Yes! Its already 2 years since I last bought my Samsung SGH-E770. Its time to change new handphone. Today went out to many places to look for Samsung SGH-I450. It is not a very new handphone. Its already out in the market for around 1 year. Many handphone shops have already stop stocking in this model.

I bought mine at hello!@Bugis Junction there at 4:35pm. Heng there still got stock. This model comes with 3 different colour casings. White/red, White/blue and Black/red. I took the Black/red colour. I find those white one not so good because those white casing usually turns a bit yellowish after some time. Heard that the shop left 2 stock for the Black/red, I was so lucky... haha...

Spent S$198.00 for the phone with 2 years plan with Singtel.

Next I head down to Sim Lim Square to get the screen protector. Why sls? haha! Because last time I bought my screen protector for my Samsung SGH-E770 there. Just pay S$12.00 and the shop keeper there will help you clean the screen and paste the protector on. Good for me because I am not good at doing the job myself.

This time when I went there, I could find neither the screen protector for this model nor any screen protector that has the same screen size as I450. So I go and ask the shop keeper there and she suggest to use a bigger one to cut to 2.4" for my I450.

Total damage: S$210.00

Unlike many Samsung handphone, I450 have relatively louder ringtone to me. But in terms of camera, its just "so so only".

Now the only problem I found on I450 is the "Backlight Problem". When left idle, the backlight will auto light up itself at 30sec interval. Not sure if it is a feature or what, but I think that will drain the battary faster. Have to go to the Samsung service centre to see if its a problem or did I set some wrong settings that makes it like this.

hahahaha finally got my 1st camera phone! Samsung SGH-E770! cool!
